US of eh

So we got Freddie back after signing the rights away for my first born child and my first born child's first born child. Besides that we where ready to hit the road and departure was set for Wednesday. Kim wanted to take some photos of the Parliament Buildings inside as she didn't have her camera with her last time we where there so we decided to do that in the morning before heading north to Swartz Bay for the ferry. After a quick stop at parliament we headed north and arrived with the 1pm Ferry still being loaded. It turns out that the cut of line was about 10 cars in front of us so we had to wait for the 3pm sailing. The sailing this time was a bit rougher then last time but still nothing on a Cook Strait crossing. We arrived on the mainland around 4:30pm'ish and decided to take a quick detour thru Point Roberts.  (continues below map)

Now Point Roberts is the bit of the Tsawwassen Peninsula that hangs below the grey line, yup that little bit of land belongs to the US of A. We drove up to the border, yup they have a border patrol there. 30 minutes, 12 US Dollars and one bag of Tomatoes surrendered later we were in the USA. We drove around for about 30 minutes exploring what the US had to offer when we came across a road and monument that was right on the border. 
Now the yellow cement barrier is a very rough line of where the border is. Yup we are standing in the USA and those house are in Canada I did illegally entered my hand and arm into Canada but shhhhh don't tell anyone. After playing with the border we headed to where a Camping ground was meant to be. It looked very suspect so we decided to go stay in Canada. I was also told that there is no Gas Station in Point Roberts well was I proven wrong there was like 7 Gas Stations on the same road servicing a population of 1314.

After about 30min in the USA we were back in Canada so in the end we spent more time in Craigdorrach Castle then in the USA and they cost about the same. We will be back in the USA for longer soon though, fingers crossed.
